Hot Mulligan have released a B-side single. ‘I Don’t Think It’s the Right Time for Emojis’ which falls ahead of their EU/UK tour which starts tomorrow, 20th February.
Tades, vocalist in the band states: “Zealotry is probably going to kill us all. Which is fine, guess. It’s no better or worse than any other kind of annihilation. There’s some people of faith who seem to understand not everyone has to care what their book says, and that deserves thanks. But judging by how many people are showing up for the mega-church Sunday spectacular, complete with pyro and wirework, the meek are not likely to inherit the earth. Joel Osteen locked people outside during Hurricane Harvey. Kenneth Copeland uses his church to buy planes, fancy cars, and houses. The camel can apparently very easily fit through the eye of the needle. David Easterwood is a pastor who runs an ICE field office on the side. Half of the archdiocese’s job is to cover for paedophiles. I think some people can do it right. They’re nice people with a big nice ghost and I don’t mind that one bit. But I think most people are just so afraid to die that they can look past the evil thing their church has become.”
The band is about to embark on a tour of the EU/UK/ Ireland, and will see them hit fifteen cities, including the prestigious London Roundhouse -support comes from Delta Sleep. They will also head out in the US this summer for headline dates and festival appearances. Support will come from Joyce Manor, Saturdays At Your Place and Koyo.
